d/r swap in legacy

hey guys i'm having a heck of a time finding the info to put an ea82 d/r in my legacy. the search is not working for me, i guess i don't know the right key words to use. anyone know if there is a sticky or definitive thread anywhere?

i've given it the treatment of a four inch lift kit with obs struts. now that i have 215/75/r15 bfg km2s, im having a heck of a time with steep hills. seems to me the next step is a d/r

i have a complete 86 gl parts car

all the other things i would need to get would be a clutch pedal assembly, dash gauge, adapter kit, from another legacy. i'm sure there is something that i am forgetting.

It would be nice if someone got all the info together, took better pictures, and did a better write up.

Not sure about the manual/auto crossmember difference. But, they are easy to modify. Just drilling holes. One side of the EJ cross member is at a different angle so I made a wedge shaped spacer to get the angle closer.

I'd be happy to take some better pictures for you. Just let me know what all you want pics of.

Working on the same thing. Hope to have the swap complete this weekend minus the new drive shaft. I just took the EA trans mount and drilled it to accept the skid plate and rear trans mount from the EJ.
